President Bola Tinubu mandates Vice President Kashim Shettima to represent him and lead Nigeria’s delegation to the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, according to multiple reports.
Shettima announces the assignment in a post on X, stating he will head the delegation on behalf of Tinubu. The coverage also indicates the delegation will include other senior Nigerian officials, with state governors and ministers among those expected to participate.
The outlets agree on the central point of the directive and the location and numbering of the UNGA. They differ only in the level of detail provided, particularly regarding which officials are listed as part of the delegation, but none dispute that Shettima is leading Nigeria’s UNGA participation this year.
